Catherine & Kristian Flanagan comment of Forell K9 Educational Seminar held by Kris Kotsopoulos

Dec. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- We are proud owners of a Von Forell Dobermann pup and are keen to learn as much as we can about dog handling. This year, we had the pleasure of attending two workshops held by Von Forell. The first 'Introductory Workshop' provided us with an overview of many topics and helped us feel more confident to attend the three-day workshop held later in the year.

The number of topics covered in the Introductory workshop were extensive, and the professional training-room forum provided the perfect opportunity to take notes and ask questions as needed. The class-room session, together with the opportunity to work with our specific dog, enabled us to feel satisfied that we had achieved what we wanted from the day.

The three day workshop ran along similar lines and provided greater insight again. The workshop was comprised of both theoretical and practical components on a daily basis.
The presentation material and ongoing Q&A consultation provided an exhaustive amount of information. Kris provided a personal level of attention which allowed each participant to exercise their dog to an appropriate level.

This allowed valuable insight into dog handling, through direct participation as well as observing others and learning from their education.
The demonstrated techniques, used to engage our dogs, served to improve handler communication and resulted in a stronger handler/dog relationship. We all left with a greater understanding of our dogs as they are now, with increased skill to develop their future potential.
